Method
PeasEngineadd_search_path
Declaration [src]
void
peas_engine_add_search_path (
PeasEngine* engine,
const char* module_dir,
const char* data_dir
)
Description [src]
Appends a search path to the list of paths where to look for plugins.
A so-called “search path” actually consists of both a module directory (where the shared libraries or language modules lie) and a data directory (where the plugin data is).
The plugin will be able to use a correct data dir depending on
where it is installed, hence allowing to keep the plugin agnostic
when it comes to installation location: the same plugin can be
installed either in the system path or in the user’s home directory,
without taking other special care than using
peas_plugin_info_get_data_dir()
when looking for its data files.
If data_dir
is NULL
, then it is set to the same value as
module_dir
.
